What Happened
The vacuum supply hose in your brake system is a tube that helps your vehicle's brakes work smoothly. In some 2005-2006 F-150 and Lincoln Mark LT models, this hose can swell and lose its grip over time, potentially coming loose from the intake manifold.
Risk if Unfixed
If the hose comes loose, you'll lose power assist for your brakes, making it harder to stop your vehicle. You may still be able to stop, but you'll need to push the brake pedal much harder, which could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
Your Ford dealer will replace the rubber hose with a new one, free of charge. This repair should be done as soon as you get the recall notice to ensure your brakes work safely and smoothly.
